The major criteria for deciding between wire shelving vs wood shelving really boils down to what is the expected use of the closet. A food cupboard, for example, is typically best served with wood shelving. A clothes closet, on the other hand, maybe better served with wire shelving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When making the wood shelving vs wire shelving decision it is also important to consider the rest of the interior design of the room or home.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If wood paneling or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/installing-baseboard-trim-ebook\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">trim<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> is used extensively throughout the home or room, then wood shelving probably makes more sense. On the flip side, if the home has a minimalist or contemporary interior design then wire shelving maybe more appropriate for the closet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Wire Shelving Advantages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Wire shelving is typically less expensive to install than wood shelving, both from a materials and labor installation standpoint. Prefabricated wire shelving is also widely available in different shapes and sizes and there is a whole assortment of accessories to complement the basic wire shelves. As a result, there are many ways to outfit a closet with wire shelving. In addition, metal wire shelves are easy to install. They come with fasteners and screws that can easily be attached to walls. See <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/finish_carpentry\/how-to-install-a-wire-shelf\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">how to install wire shelving<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Wire shelving versus wood shelving typically only requires a hammer, screwdriver, hacksaw and a level to install. Even most novice do it yourself homeowners have these basic tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Wood Shelving Advantages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/finish_carpentry\/custom-built-in-bookcases-cabinets\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">Wood shelving can look spectacular<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>, depending upon the shelving design and the type of finish that is applied to the shelves, e.g. stain and polyurethane. There are finished carpenters who focus their entire livelihood on the design and installation of elaborate closet wood shelving and cabinetry. Consequently, custom closets outfitted with wood shelving can look absolutely stunning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Wood shelving, versus wire shelving, typically is designed to be more rugged and support additional weight.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/design-and-build-custom-closet-ebook\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8215\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cover-closet-small-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"Design and Build a Custom Closet Ebook\" width=\"238\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cover-closet-small-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cover-closet-small.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Learn <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/design-and-build-custom-closet-ebook\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">how to design and build a custom closet<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> with this eBook.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also, due to the fact that the wood shelves have one continuous surface area they are better for supporting all types of items, particularly small items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Wire Shelving Disadvantages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Wire shelving can look austere and simple compared to wood shelving. Wire shelving typically is designed and installed to support less weight than wood shelving. Frequently I have found wire shelving improperly installed, where the fasteners are not screwed into wall studs. It doesn\u2019t take much weight to cause a wire shelf to come crashing down if it is not properly fastened to wall studs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also, if clothes are laid directly onto wire shelves, crease lines inevitably form on the clothes due to the wires. Also, small items such stationary or pictures can\u2019t be placed on end with wire shelves unless a flat surface material is placed over the wire shelf.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Wood Shelving Disadvantages<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are fewer prefabricated wood shelving options to choose from compared to wire shelving. In addition, wood shelving vs wire shelving typically requires more effort to install. Wood shelving is also heavier than wire shelving, and though this is typically no big deal once installed it can be an issue during the installation effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Installing wood shelving involves the use of power tools, such as a skill saw, miter saw, and drill. If you don\u2019t have these tools or don\u2019t want to buy or rent them, then installing your own wood shelving is not an option.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000ASBCK4\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000ASBCK4&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=c4563543c1b7e9b1aabf0050a9beace7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B000ASBCK4&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000ASBCK4\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So before making the wire shelving versus wood shelving decision consider the shelving application, the rest of the interior design of your home or room, your access to tools, and the amount of time you want to expend on installing the shelves.
